README for Harvard Dataverse repository for: Leu, Chiara, 2024, "Replication Data for: "The effect of stimulus saliency on the modulation of ongoing neural oscillations related to thermonociception: a Registered Report"", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/542CLY"


This repository holds the following files:

EEG data - original: Original EEG data file for each participant, in .bdf format.

EEG data - preprocessing: Pre-processing pipelines (.lw_script files) that were used to treat the EEG data as described in the Methods section of the associated Registered Report. Letswave is a open-source Matlab plugin (www.letswave.cn). 

EEG data - analysis: .csv files containing the peaks following baseline or oddball cycles in each condition for the phase-locked response (original analysis and exploratory analysis) extracted from the Letswave pre-processing, which was used for the statistical analysis. Also contains the R Markdown (.Rmd) file which was used to run the statistical analysis of the EEG data.

MATLAB functions to run experiment:	Contains the MATLAB script (.m) and associated functions which were used to run the experiment.

MATLAB session file - EEG: Contains the MATLAB session file for each participant (.mat) for the session in which EEG data was acquired, including randomization of conditions as well as any and other information of the testing session.

MATLAB session file - VAS: Contains the MATLAB session file for each participant (.mat) for the session in which rating was acquired using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), including randomization of conditions as well as any and other information of the testing session.

VAS data - analysis: Contains .csv files with the extracted rating peaks for each condition and stimulation type, as well as the MATLAB (.m) and R Studio Markdown (.Rmd) file which were used to extract and analyse the rating data. This folder also contains the MATLAB files (.mat) that were used for the exploratory analysis in Letswave.
